New Saturday Good Market Venue Starting July 4
View(s):Come July 4, the Saturday Good Market will be moving across the street from the Colombo Racecourse to Rajakeeya Mawatha. President Maithripala Sirisena and the Mayor of Colombo both plan to attend the opening on July 4.The Saturday Good Market has more than 50 vendors with certified organic produce, natural food and snacks, eco-friendly home and garden products, handmade crafts, and more.
The Good Market organizers had been looking for a weekend venue that was shady, easily accessible, and large enough for all of the Good Market vendors to come together at a single weekly event. The space was finalised with support from the Colombo Municipal Council, the Police, and Royal College. The new venue provides space for new stalls, environmental programmes, activities for kids, and special events.
The Saturday Good Market hours will remain the same: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Good Market organic and natural food shop is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. inside the Lakpahana grounds at 14 Philip Gunawardena Mawatha (Reid Avenue), Colombo 07.
